I'm looking for a gunsmith, preferably local to DFW, that can true the face of my Savage 110 action. I've ordered a new barrel which I'll install myself. Lead time is 10 weeks so I thought I'd get the action face trued. I don't need lugs lapped etc.

It's your rifle/money, but you're wasting it on truing the action, IMO. I did it to one of my Model 12 actions years ago, and it didn't change anything with the accuracy.I have 7 Savage actions, and the other 6 shoot as good if not better than the one that has been trued.
